`Posh back garden Life`

Simplicity - might be the word. Nothing colourful , no exciting shapes,just good old black & brown. All stuff is pretty much old , so this is the result of me- trying to put`em together and try something that could apply for A2014 and what I generally like. As I mentioned before , I am into this clean cut , simplicity , a lit bit muscular shapes in clothing. IF i`d have enough money I would definitely shop in Acne or COS , or I`ve just recently found House Of Funny - they have that easy colour palette, simple shapes, cleanness in their products. Prices vary and there some things that even a student can afford.Well, I said ONE DAY I`ll be able to afford all that sort of stuff(hopefully).

Anyway , what I am wearing in this posh photo shoot in this luxurious back garden is clothes that I owe for a while or is not even mine! Black pants Ive got them from Primark because I had to get black ones for work(that was back in the days when I lived in Edinburgh), Jumper is from Matalan for like 10£, the funny thing is that basically same kind of jumper in let`s say ZARA costs from 50£ ... lucky me I`d say. Coat is from ZARA kids , which I stole from my brothers wife , so as the white Folli Follie watch.. I don`t really like those shoes anymore but since you can really see them , it went well (It`s a copy of Jeffrey Campbell studded heeled boots from E-bay). So for the last- my bag is from Mango , which I got in Glasgow , around 5 yrs ago and this hat belongs to my amazing roommate , who did this professional back garden photo shoot(applause's for her)

Quite many visual for such OOTD, but oh well..

Thanks

Stay Trendy with Primark

Quick overview of Primark merchandise.

I think you`ve noticed before that I am a little bit into Primark since it`s one of the cheapest brands and affordable for students, as me. This brand is doing a great job keep`n up with all trends for autumn and upcoming winter. People who properly try to follow trends , they check trend forecasting websites, read magazines etc. This data is from really reliable source- WGSN. According to upcoming fashion trends, that is what Primark has to offer for this season. So if it`s a low price brand it doesn`t mean that they merchandise will be untrendy or bad quality. It`s just a case, that half of my UNI girls wears same stuff from Primark... Bugger .. So for now I try to look for more original stuff in vintage shops/markets or not so popular online shopping websites .

Check the visuals and stay trendy cheaper.

Alexander Wang for H&M

ALEXANDER WANG X H&M

Alexander Wang collaboration with H&M. Teaser for collection has been released to reveal what it will be about.

So far, so good. First teaser has been released in July on Alexander Wang instagram feed , which was a boxing gloves key ring which got every ones interest.That's was a first hint that collection will be sporty and it was true.Performance & sportswear inspired pieces of collection where posted on Instagram. Rihanna was spotted with ALEXANDER WANG FOR H&M crop top & leggings(she wore it good because we all know that tight leggings and crop top is not suited for every body shape unfortunately)

------------------------

Shocker look with the killer heels showed up on Instagram.Sporty collection doesn`t mean you can`t wear heels with. Well, I can say it did work out and would definitely wear it myself.Heels looks like boxer shoes itself because of shoelace in the front.

--------------------------

Of course -celebrity endorsement . Sporty campaign stared with Racquel Zimmerman and Isabel Foantana.

-----------------------------

Main colours of this collection is black, grey, white, blue which I mentioned before is my colours for this a/w 14/15. Even there are just few dominant colours it doesn`t need anything else to be added.

Original Pieces for H&M

"I wanted to create a collection where most of the pieces have been designed from scratch. Rather than creating affordable versions of expensive items, I wanted to design true performance pieces that are within the natural price points of sportswear of H&M, so we were able to create the best version of these pieces, through our vocabulary,", said Alexander Wang after her first announcement about collaboration.

----------------------------

Sneak Peak to Men`s side

Collection will be available worldwide from 6th of November.

Again, most of this OOTD is Primark. Rainy Monday, uni and work. Winter is coming , so obviously shitty weather as well. Today having difficulties to choose between red trousers and blue ripped jeans since weather is so freak`n depressing. Eventually I choose jeans, meaning that selection of my clothing is dark . I think it says how i feel as well.Anyway, who the hell even likes Monday mornings at work, uni and rain all day !!!

I`ve added a Pantone forecasted colours for Autumn/Winter 2014/2015. If the weather is horrible and depressing does`t mean that you have to choose between black, grey ,brown or any other dark colours let`s say.There`s the whole palette of`em.
Prices and and brands are listed below.

Clean and Easy

4/10/14, Saturday

Simplicity , clean and soft look is what I prefer this a/w 2014/2015 .
Simple shapes,no graphics , white, black, grey,brown etc. Calm design, over sized coats and winter colours.Similarity between negligible cold coziness , Estonian minimalistic interior design and the connection of colours and feeling of Lithuanian freelance designer of crochet interior details made from polyester ropes. Visual combines all of it and creates view of pure shapes, colours and emotion.
